SHAME ON THE KNOCKER.
To hit a man on the head with a hammer is a strange
way to weljjpme him and' induce him to spend money in
developing a locality, but it is the way the Medford Mail
has greeted John R. Allen of New York City, who. recent
ly bought the Pacific & pastern -railroad.'
If the Pacific & Eastern is built, it Avill be through the
efforts of Mr. Allen. Previous attempts to reorganize
and construct the railroad have ended in sad muddles.
From Mr. Allen all expect much.
It is to the interests of Medford and the Rogue River
valley that the railroad be built, and every possible en
couragement should be extended the man who has put up
his own money for the extension, and has tackled a difficult
problem in finance. .'
The proposed extension of the Pacific & Eastern in
volves an expenditure of several million dollars. United
co-operation and good will is the spirit that induces capi
talists to make such investments. Mr. Allen will find that
this spirit really prevails in Medford and that eveiything
possible will be done t'o'aid him. Medford is thoroughly
ashamed of the lack of courtesy, lack of breeding, lack of
common sense shown by; the Morning Mail. Shame on
the knocker.
Knocking never built up a community, but has ruined
many. If the Mail cannot be ordinarily decent in its treat
ment of investors and visitors, for the good of the commu
nity, it should be suppressed," lest; its' knocking drive out
men and money essential to its future growth and welfare.

THE ONES THAT PUT UP THE
BEST FRONT.
It's just the same with a town.
IT MUST HAVE A FRONT. Every
body living in it or doing business
in it should boost at all timet and
in every place. .
One of the best ways to booit is
to - boom your own busineu bv

THAT IS PROFITABLE. Other neo-

We are doing what we can to put
up a front for our town. Lend o
hand, or, better still, let us help yon
do it.
The right kind of stationery will
help your business front and the
front of the town.
DON'T BE AN "ALSO RAN" in
your business. Don't let your town
be classed "araone those ' men.

The attitude of the great men "of Oregon towards the
Crater Lake highway appropriation is in sharp contrast
with that of the liliputian mossbaeks who have invoked
the aid of the courts to block the construction of the road.
Almost without exception, the leading men of the state
favor the appropriation and deplore .the action of the Silu
rians of Salem.
The latest to express himself upon the topic is Arch
bishop Christie, head of the Roman Catholic church in
Oregon. His opinion as published in the Oregon Journal is
the opinion of most far-sighted men. The archbishop
says: . V
" "No wonder the Indians of Oregon wove beautiful and
fantastic legends about Crater Lake, for it is wonderful
enough to awake the imagination of even a savage's mind.
"I a mvery sorry that the $100,000 provided by the leg
islature for the construction of the Crater Lake' road has
been held up in the courts. In my mind the completion of
that road would he a most powerful advertisement for the
state. Crater Lake is one of the great wonders of nature.
The surrounding country is wonderful and sublime. I was
only there for a few hours in the earlv morning, but the
short glimpse I had, with the sun just rising across the
lake, is something I will never forget. If a road were con
structed from Medford it would be a great thing for Ore
gon." The archbishop is also enthusiastic over Medford and
its prospects. Continuing, he states :
"I am convinced that Oregon is to be one of the great-!
est states ni tlie Union. I believe that Medford will he a
great city in the f uture It has a wonderful country around
it, a district of fjreat fertility, vast resources and beautiful
climate. I believe it has a great future.
"The world knows but little of Oregon, of its varied
resources, of its vast reaches of timber and rich land await
ing development. My trip has opened my eyes as they!
have never been opened. I believe Oregon 'is to be a great
state of many people, large cities and continued prosper-

READ THE TRIBUNE FOR NEWS.
DAYTOV, Wash., Aug. 21. That
game birds, particularly pheasants
and prairio chickens, am scarcer
than for years past, is tho assertion
made by sisirtMnen of Dayton sinco
tho open season commenced Sunday.
This condition is attributed to whole
sale slaughter of birds tho Inst few
seasons and to laxity in protecting
thciii during' tho closed season.
Feathered gnnio has decreased fully
7i per cent in fivo years. Grouso
nro said to bo (inile plentiful back in
I he lllue mountains, but in the font
hills whero formerly were lurun
bunds, only an occasional bird is
found. Columbia comity has long
bornn thn reputation among sports
men of Vnsliinglontand Oregon ns
the best ground in the stale for birds,
but this cannot be churned this season.
